1979 XT500 F
Mileage is a very low 23700km, which is in keeping with the overall condition throughout this bike.

frame number 1U6 1137**
engine number 1U61645**

I imported this XT from Germany during lockdown as I was specifically after a ‘79 as they have the best colour scheme (In my opinion)
It now has a V5 and UK reg.
All work was carried out by me including a full engine and gearbox rebuild with new Wiseco piston and bearings where necessary. Everything on this bike works as it should and she runs and rides perfectly.
Upgrades include twin head lubrication and 12 volt conversion.
As you can see from the photos I have fitted many new parts like original headlight, wiring harness, gaiters, chain and sprockets, regulator/ rectifier, Battery, shocks, Pirelli MT43 tyres to name only some.
I have pictures documenting the rebuild.

Please note the price is fixed and reflects the money spent.
Anyone who owns an XT500 will know the accumulated cost when undergoing a restoration of this nature.
If it’s listed it’s available.
I’m not interested in swaps/ px thanks

I have owned four XT's and this is by far the most looked after bike, all the threads are in great shape and there is no damage anywhere. I was going to keep this one but an impending house move has didctated otherwise.
